found this comic two, three days ago, and just now caught up to the “present”
i have to say… this is bloody amazing. gotta love.
little confused at the moment, but hey, it is, well, ragnarok. can’t begrudge a little confusion, lawlz.
anyways, just professing my love for lovely art & witty wording. and norse mythology. (and hod…)
thanks, guys, you’ve made my week.

Remember that Frigg made all the creatures of the earth swear never to harm Balder; and that the only one who would not promise was the mistletoe. Loki, disguising himself as an old woman, gave Hod a dart of mistletoe to throw when all the Aesir were testing Balder’s invulnerability. The dart struck Balder, and he fell down dead. So…yeah, Hod killt him. But it was all Loki’s fault!!!

@Branwyn: Yes! It was NOT Hod’s fault. As Brat-Hod might say: “Blind….” Besides, both Odin and Frigg knew what was going to happen and did nothing to protect Hod… And anyway, what was the gang thinking, getting drunk and playing “let’s throw crap at Balder…” LOL! SO Viking… But that’s Real Time and not Brat-halla time. *staunchly refuses to believe Hod is really evil*

@Branwyn: Yeah, we know that. Still, that just explains how the mistletoe could hurt him at all. The fact that it killed him, as opposed to just annoying or mildly puncturing him, is rather impressive.
